Yeah I think I’ve watched that channel before it’s pretty good.

Yeah unless that guy is talking about the very beginning of the EQ planning stage he can’t possibly be being honest. Because they references kunark from the beginning so it definitely wasn’t something a junior dev came up with for an expansion later unless were talking like the first year of development before anything was even disclosed to the public

No no, the junior dev is the guy who has the channel. If you watch the Kevin McPherson interview (might recognize the name from Halas) he gets into all of this. Said he came up with Kunark entirely fron scratch because he just did that kind of thing as a pen and paper gamer. Then it just sat in his desk for a year until they decided they were going to need more content.

He also said this surprised everyone. They thought they were going to get 75k players for a year then make a new game. Then when they made Kunark they thought that would be the expansion then they would make a new game. Someone in one of the other interviews said something about that, too but I forget which. Jeff Butler maybe.
